"This year we wanted to design and style a magic elf Christmas party and incorporate lots of printables that people can enjoy and add to their tradition with their own magic elves every year," Maureen says. "The party boasts the traditional red and green colors with added pops of aqua and light blue. The printables include classic patterns such as candy cane stripes with mixes of trendy chevron, ditzy dots, and snowflake patterns."

"Little knee-hugger elves were found all over the party to tie the theme back into the decor," Maureen says. "They can be seen stuck in the gorgeous custom stockings (from Aimee Broussard Events), in the tree, on the frames, hanging from the yarn garland, and tucked in the drawers."

"When thinking of elf treats, we decided to reuse an old pop bottle crate as a display for little treats," Maureen says. "We spray-painted it a bright blue to add a pop of color on the display. We filled it with green rock candy, red licorice, little containers of naughty and nice treats, lollipops, meringue elf hats (which we made!), and little printable notes to Santa. We placed some plastic (kid-friendly!) drink bottles from Smash Cake Studio filled with milk on top of the display with a printable wrapper and straw."

"We made green meringue Christmas tree treats and placed them on baking cups from Smash Cake Studio that we trimmed and put upside down to add height," Maureen says.

"We reused old card catalog drawers as displays for 'naughty' and 'nice' treats and labeled them with the appropriate printable party logos," Maureen says. "The naughty treats included black rock candy, black licorice wheels, black gumballs, and homemade 'coal' (marshmallows dipped in black chocolate and sprinkles). The 'nice' treats included red and green ribbon candy, lollipops, gumballs, and candy canes."

"The yarn and patterned paper Christmas trees were also a craft project," Maureen says. "We layered yarn and scraps of our patterned paper to make adorable tree decorations."

"We designed our signature holiday photo hangtag Christmas card to match the elf theme," Marueen says. "We punched a hole, added twine, and hung it as part of the decor on the tree."

"We also wrapped several gifts for under the tree with yarn," Maureen says. "We added our printable tags from the magical elf collection. The collection includes 'inspected by elf' tags as well as cute Santa tags and elf tags. We think they would be so much fun to use every year."

"Keeping with the elf tradition, we wanted to show 'naughty' and 'nice' treats," Maureen says. "We packaged red and white Sixlets in clear containers (from Nashville Wraps) and put on our printable 'nice' label. We packaged black gumballs in the other clear containers and added the printable 'naughty' labels on those. These were placed around the table and on the bottle crate."
